Sanctify Me

Sanctify me
for my heart heart is heavy
filled with anger and hatred
unwilling to forgive & forget
holding on to grudges and contentions
relieve me of this burden...OH LORD!

sanctify me
for my thoughts are impure
a corrupt mind that seeks to deceive
bad thoughts haunting me everyday
a pessimistic mind without  faith
how long can l live like this?

Sanctify me
for my tongue is with venom
everything i say is poison
with every word that comes out of my mouth;
i can bring down mansions
woe to those who listen!

sanctify me
for my hands are dirty
desperation made me wild...touched the unholy!
now my hands are befouled
unworthy to serve you OH Lord!
sanctify me, so i can win your favor once again.
